Futaba R7306SB FASSTest 2.4GHz Receiver

FASSTest12CH Telemetry OFF Mode

This mode is forcibly turning off telemetry transmission to prevent collision of telemetry signals from the receiver to the transmitter when using dual RX link mode in FASSTest12ch mode.

1. Turn on the receiver. [Transmitter is always OFF]
2. Press and hold the SW for 5 seconds or more.
3. Release the switch when the indicator blinks ORANGE once.
4. Press the switch once more to return to flashing green once.
5. Press and hold the SW.
6. Release SW when the indicator blinks ORANGE twice.
7. Turn off the receiver power.

Status: After restarting, the LINK LED lights up Orange Solid. [Telemetry OFF mode: ON]

How to Dual Rx Link

Install two receivers on the aircraft as shown in the connection example. Link the two receivers using the dual receiver feature of the transmitter. For systems without dual receiver capability, link each receiver in turn.

Transmitter in link mode: For FASSTest 16ch Select dual mode and link primary. Follow the link procedure for each receiver manual.

Transmitter in link mode: For FASSTest 16ch Select dual mode and link secondary.

Connection example:

• Receiver A communicates with two receivers.
• Receiver B communicates with two receivers.

Dual Rx Link System: By installing two receivers in one aircraft, if one receiver becomes unable to communicate, the other receiver can be operated.

How to change to Dual RX Link mode:

1. Turn on the receiver. [Transmitter is always OFF]
2. Press and hold the SW for 5 seconds or more.
3. When the LED of the receiver changes from blinking red to blinking orange, SW is released.
4. The LED should now blink red two times in the patterns described in the chart below.
5. Each press of the SW advances the receiver to the next mode.
6. When you reach the mode that you wish to operate in, press and hold the SW for more than 2 seconds. When LED blinks in orange, it is the completion of a mode change, SW is released.
7. Cycle the receiver power off and back on again after changing the Channel mode.

Note: In Dual RX link mode, the SB2/RX port is for reception only, so use CH mode B, C, D, F, G, H mode for S.BUS output and S.BUS2 input/output.

Telemetry for FASSTest12CH

In FASSTest12CH mode, after linking R7306SB in telemetry OFF mode, link the receiver you want telemetry to. (The transmitter will show the telemetry of the last linked transmitter.)

• #1 First Link: R7306SB (Telemetry OFF mode)
• #2 Second Link: R7306SB (Telemetry display)

Note: Telemetry display of second-linked receiver. Telemetry OFF first-linked receiver.

About telemetry system

When using the dual receiver function, the telemetry function of the main receiver can be used. Sub-receiver telemetry function is not available.

R7306SB Specifications

• FASSTest-2.4 GHz system (18 ch/12 ch mode)
• S.BUS2 and S.BUS port and 6 Channels for conventional system receiver
• Dual antenna diversity
• Size: 0.89 x 1.5 x 0.48 in. (22.5 x 38.3 x 12.2 mm)
• Weight: 0.38 oz. (10.7 g)
• Power requirement: 3.7 V to 7.4 V (Voltage range: 3.5 V to 8.4 V)
• Battery F/S Voltage: FASSTest --- It sets up with a transmitter, FASST --- 3.8 V

Note: Be sure that when using ESCs regulated output the capacity of the ESC must meet your usage condition. Never use dry batteries for the power supply of the R7306SB as they may cause difficulties.

Antenna installation precaution

• Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.
• The antennas must be mounted in such a way to assure they are strain relieved.
• Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC and other noise sources as you possibly can.
• Do not touch the antenna to metal, carbon, or other conductive material.
• Be sure that the two antennas are placed at 90 degrees to each other.

Antenna installation for carbon fuselage: You must leave 30 mm at the tip of the antenna fully exposed. The exposed antenna should be secured so that it cannot move around or back inside of your aircraft.

Usage precaution

• Analog servos cannot be used with the R7306SB in the FASSTest 12CH mode.

WARNING: Changes or modification not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. The R7306SB receiver should be protected from vibration by foam rubber, Velcro, or similar mounting methods. Protect from moisture. Keep away from conductive materials to avoid short circuits.

Link precaution

• Do not perform the linking procedure while the motor's main power is connected or the engine is operating as it may result in serious injury.
• When the linking is complete, please cycle the receiver power and ensure the receiver is properly linked to the transmitter.
• Power on the system in this order: Transmitter first, followed by the receiver.
• If the R7306SB receiver was previously linked to another transmitter, make sure that transmitter is not operating while linking the receiver to the new transmitter.

Connector precaution

DANGER: Do not insert either a switch or battery in this manner. It will short-circuit, if it connected in this way. A short circuit across the battery terminals may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns.

Note: Do not connect an S.BUS servo / gyro to S.BUS2 connector.
